Shell some out to my family. Invest. Have the funnest holidays I could plan (Around the world?). Probably set myself up for a comfortable job. You know the ones, very little work, a lot of holidays, and a nice pay check. I'll follow it all up by rejoicing about how lucky I was to get way with under aged gambling. :thumbsup:

First three months ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buy my parents a ridiculously nice house and give them money so they can retire.

 

 

 

Pay off the rest of my sister's tuition.

 

 

 

Buy myself a house in the country and build a recording studio.

 

 

 

Go the hell to Best Buy and Guitar Center and have a day of it.

ANOTHER QUALITY POST BY JAKE.

I would go out and see the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would too, sorta. Maybe just see a few countries, invest rest of money retire, and collect knowledge lol. I'll probably be bored out of my mind without a job. I'll keep on going to school and try, as best as possible, to keep the money a secret. Hate friends who only like you cause of your money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finish my education and find a job I'm really interested in, which I can actually afford to not care about salary, since I'm financially secure, or should I not find the job, spend the rest of my life doing riddles, or playing video games, or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and live in my middle-class life style for the most part. No need for fancy cars and stuff, but maybe occasionally get a good meal \' .

First 3-months?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put it all in bank, live off interest.

 

 

 

Finish my education, and get a higher education.

 

 

 

After getting my higher education, waste my life playing runescape, and having a personal chiropractor, to fix my spine, since playing rs messes up your back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I'd stash like 200k of it somewhere, not in a bank, as a just incase thing.

I'd buy $10 million worth of more lotto tickets!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah I'd probably buy a car and a house then invest the rest in Tesltra shares :) What a joke

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well depends what the odds are for the lotto tickets lol.

 

 

 

If they're one in a million...well I'll just buy one of each ticket with different numbers on them and keep on winning the lottery lol.

I'd tell no-one besides my immediate family (its surprising how many "new friends" or "old friends, reappearing" after you win the lottery. So that would remain a secret. I'd give a fair bit to my family and a bit to those in need (seriously I would) and the rest I'd spend wisely. Such as buy property etc. I'd buy a few luxuries with the money left over. :)

Do what Bubsa said, not tell anyone, stick it in a high interest savings account and just live a comfortable lifestyle. Nice holidays, nice cars (but not ridiculously expensive), nice food and drink etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was going to say, I'd have to agree with your line of thinking there as well, Bubsa. When people know you have money it just generates negative attention.

I *think* that most winnings from lotteries get paid out in smaller chunks over the period of many years. If you won a 20 million lottery they might pay you 1 million a year for 20 years or something. It's still not shabby but I would think a ton of the money would be lost through inflation during that time. Someone correct me if I am wrong since I don't know this to be totally true everywhere.

The UK lottery pays it all out at once.

Here in the states the big ones give you the option. You can get it all at once, but it's 30% less than if you get it over the time period.

its the other way around. if you want a lump sum you have to pay higher taxes which cut away a fair portion of the winnings. oh, and the mega millions lottery in the united states is up to 350 million today.
